(no subject)
how difficult is this week for everyone? on a scale of one to ten, i'd give it an infinity. i'm so sick of exams and papers and classes that i don't give a damn about. i have literally been doing homework for the last 7-8 hours straight, and i don't feel that i've accomplished anything. i wrote a paper i don't care about, and i studied for an exam to learn material i'll never use again. i feel completely fried-it is grand prix week here and i haven't been able to go out one night, plus i just learned i have to work tomorrow night so i'll miss the gym class heroes show i've been looking forward to. and i have to work at 2 on saturday, so i don't think i can try to breakfast club saturday morning because getting fired for being hungover at a wedding would be bad, as i am poor at the moment.
plus, on top of all of this, most people are counting down the days until they come home for the summer. i actually will be living here in lafayette for another four weeks-which, at the moment, seems like an eternity. i have to work an extra two weeks since my internship isn't paid and i don't have very much money at the moment. i'll be home for approximately 6 days before i leave for tennessee for two and a half months, only to return for a few days, then move back to lafayette. i won't ever have a summer between semesters again, and that's a weird thing to think about. next year is the year of changes, and i'm still trying to fight the fact that i need to get a job and accept that we're all adults now. i want to go back to high school and worry about trivial things like marching band and passing vocab quizzes. where the hardest subject was honors physics, which didn't matter because the teacher would pass you out of pity-you don't get that here. you don't see your favorite faces in the hallway every day, or even once a month, for that matter. and the best part of high school? you went home to your house at the end of the day, to your mom and dad. you didn't come home to an empty apartment where you spend most of your time. i told my mom that if i had honestly known in advance that the living arrangements would be such an issue here, i would have gone to purdue calumet. yes, i would have missed out on some things, but this roommate situation is incredibly difficult (i'm not saying that to anyone in particular. there remains only one of my roommates -my freshman year roommate, mallory- whom i would say i dislike and would purposely avoid).
but anyways, to not end on a negative note, here are some things that make me happy:
-the song "rock and roll ain't noise pollution"
-road tripping to toledo to see thursday and minus the bear in may
-the great smoky mountains, minus the ranger uniform i'll be sporting
-expensive chumley's martinis
-layaway (what a great word)
-the hilarious honda element commercial with the weird crab ('i pinch')
-bob dylan and johnny cash
-thinking back on old friends and only remembering the good parts
-april weather
